I recently completed some French and German Warships, and wanted to share the photos. As usual, the incredible detail on these GHQ Models helps make the painting job easier :) Let me know what you think.

ALSO... I actually received some WW2 miniatures as a Christmas gift... This time, they are 28mm Plastics. This is an area of painting that I haven't done much of in the past. I'll be posting some "review" photos soon because I am impressed! Stay tuned...

Hi All... just wanted to post a few photos of some 1/6000 miniatures that I just painted. Overall, I think these are pretty good miniatures and they paint up pretty well. I wish that their Destroyers were not cast on the bases, but given how small they are I guess I understand why.

They say that "necessity is the mother of invention" and this has always been true for me. I ended up designing a complete set of 1/2400 decals for GHQ Aircraft Carriers because no one produced them. This week I tackled another project that has been bugging me for many years and I'm excited about the outcome!

I've always struggled with convincing terrain. I have a love/hate relationship with GHQ Terrain Maker because they are not symmetrical and I'm tired of huge gaps... I finally gave up on them a couple of weeks ago. I figured Terrain Mats are my next best option because I just don't want to store a lot of custom made terrain. A few years ago, I ordered 2 mats from a well-known Wargame Mat producer and his service was absolutely terrible; after several months of promises and waiting ("they are shipping tomorrow") I finally asked for and received a refund. Not wanting to take that route again, I decided to try making my own.

Here are the results. I have terrible lighting in my den so excuse the grainy photos... I hope to have better photos in the near future. Each Mat has a light hex pattern overlay and are actually quite detailed. I'm very happy with the outcome and am planning to start on a slightly bigger design. These are about 3.5 ft x 5 ft.

You know, for a minute or two I was prepared to post these pictures and say "Look what I just finished painting!". But then I realized that I just couldn't do that; it wouldn't be right (and my wife reads my blog).

Take a look at what she just finished painting! Pretty darn good! I asked if I could keep them for myself and the answer was "NO".

Anyway, here they are: T-70's, T-34's, KV-1s', and Zis-5 Trucks. Oh... and there are a few photos of some 1/2400 Carriers I finished painting: IJN Shoho and USN CV-10 Yorktown.

A couple of years ago I purchased some PicoArmor for a change of pace. It's crazy small (I thought GHQ was small) and it's a very affordable Wargaming option. This weekend I painted up a few using only a paintbrush and non-toxic paints (inlcuding matte varnish).

I'm excited to paint a few more and maybe even build a small army. Let me know what you think.

One more picture... excuse the poor lighting. This is a great benefit of small miniatures; a full 4' x 6' game board (scaled down of course) on a single 1' x 2' Styrofoam sheet.
